(bfn = best friend's name)

You were what people called a 'seer'. Born with the gift of being able to see the red string of fate, you were capable of severing and reattaching the strings as you pleased. Few people knew you had this ability - in fact, you tried to hide it as much as possible, as you'd been bombarded with requests to change people's fates before. The only one who knew was your best friend.

And here, we have our problem.

You, (bfn), Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had been friends ever since you could remember. From childhood to adulthood, the four of you had each other's backs.

You remember how it all went down. You, Yamaguchi Tadashi's next-door neighbour, were one day dragged along to meet the boy's new friend, Tsukishima, who was with (bfn) at the time. You and (bfn) immediately clicked, and it felt like you two were simply meant to be friends.

Remember how we established that you were a seer? When you met, you were quite taken aback at seeing your very own string - one that unmistakably was connected to a certain blonde. You were so excited, you'd found the person you belonged with so early on in your life!

...Or at least, that's what you'd thought.

(bfn) was getting married to Tsukishima Kei tomorrow. It would be a lie to say that it didn't hurt you, but you cared so deeply for (bfn), and you knew Tsukishima loved her, too. You couldn't seperate them. You couldn't tell them the truth.

Back when you were in high school, she'd shyly asked you who Tsukishima's soulmate was, nervous as she didn't want to seem like she was using you. She'd told you, "you don't have to tell me, I know you don't like being asked these kinds of things," and yet...

Well, it's not like you lied. Telling her that she wasn't his soulmate wasn't a lie. Okay, maybe you did lie a bit when you also told her that you couldn't yet see who his soulmate was supposed to be.

And now you're here, at their wedding.

"I appreciate you so much for doing this for me," she told you with tears in her eyes.

Yes.

You'd agreed to bend the laws of soulmates for them.  

"Just hold hands for a second, and close your eyes, okay?" you instructed.

The pair complied and did as they were told.

Swallowing in an attempt to hold back tears. It would be a lie to say that you hadn't developed feelings for the boy - after all, years of being together can do that. It was a lie when you said that closing one's eyes was important. It wasn't, but you didn't want them to see you severing something that seemed to lead to you.

You took a deep breath as you held the vibrant string in your hands. Grasping it more harshly, you dug your nail into the thread, slowly severing it. You did the same to (bfn)'s string. Tying the two severed strings together, you wiped at the tears that were threatening to spill with your sleeve.

"You can open your eyes now. It's done."

The couple hugged in joy, and you watched them with a pained smile.

You just hoped Yamaguchi would forgive you for severing his thread.
"The Red String of Fate exists, and only some people have the ability to see the strings, and these people can actually cut strings and knot other people's strings in to alter the soulmate laws. Your best friend's wedding is tomorrow and they know you can see the string. They ask you to help them defy the laws of the universe and help them be with the person they love even though they know that's not their soulmate. You know they love each other so much so you help them, even though the person your best friend's marrying/your best friend is your soulmate."
